LTD. 8574 Opposition wins argu ment over spending estimates OTTAWA (CP) - Opposition arguments that the government is improperly using spending estimates to alter major legislation were supported in part by Nomination adds lustre HOLLYWOOD (AP) - "I didn't know whether I was going to get nominated or not," said Ryan O'Neal in a candid evaluation. In Ms favor for an Academy Award nomination as best actor was the heady success at the box office of Love Story, in which he gave a surprisingly affecting performance. But he has endured enough knocks in Hollywood to see the other side, too: "There were a lot of strong male performances this year. Like Peter Boyle in Joe. I was surprised that he didn't make it. "Also, the publicity for Love Story all seemed to be going toward Ali MacGraw (his co-star). I don't think this was calculated on Par amount's part. 1 just think that Ali is the kind of girl who attracts publicity without even trying." Such oversighs don't, bother O'Neal. The Academy nomination brought new lustre to a career that suddenly boomed in the past year. He just finished co-starring with William Holden in The Wild Rovers for MGM and this month starts Dangerfield in Europe for the Mdrisch Company. Lucien Lamoureux in the Commons Wednesday. He ruled that two items in the latest spending estimates should come before me House in the form of legislation. A motion to that effect was approved. The issue flared Monday when Stanley Knowles (NDP-Winnipeg North Centre) noted that the latest supplementary estimates contain 21 different $1 items. These token entries are traditionally used to alter the schedules or dates of existing programs. But in this case, he argued, four of the entries actually changed major legislation. By using this method, the government was denying MPs the right to examine and debate the The Speaker said Wednesday that in two of the oases cited- the Pension Act and the established Programs (Interim Arrangements) Act-the government deserved the benefit of the doubt. But in the other two cases dealing with increased veterans allowances and pensions, the measures were not before the House in proper form. The measures were announced some time ago by the government. The Speaker said he hoped that his ruling, which will involve new legislation for the veterans benefits, will not result in any undue delay in the changes being implemented. He said thlsre is a long-established tradition of the House approving such changes without delay. All other items in the supplementary estimates were referred to committee as usual.
